What is your favorite song that actually tells a story?

Posted on 04/22/2022 3:56:36 PM PDT by Beowulf9

I admit I saw this elsewhere but I thought it might be a good thing to put here because honestly I look and listen to songs people post. I am always entertained and it opens my mind to many different avenues of musical tastes I have not known before. I hope ones like this column.

Avenged Sevenfold - A little piece of heaven

Avenged Sevenfold is one the only bands worth a damn these days. Apparently heavily influenced by old Maiden stuff and it shows. Great band.

Agree totally on that one. Also El Paso by Marty Robbins as mentioned by others here.

That one gets my vote, too.
